Linux had it's SACK moment in 2019 - https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/tcpsack#s...

We could just be seeing the fruit of expensive SWE RL on existing source material.

While not entirely unrelated, Linux also had a remote SACK issue ~ 6 years back.

So if this Mythos is just an expensive combination of better RL and the original source material, that should hopefully point out where we might see an uptick in work ( as opposed to a novel class of attack vectors).

This isn't a technology issue. Regulation is the only sane way to address the issue.

For once,we (as the technologists) have a free translator to laymen speak via the frontier LLMs, which can be an opportunity to educate the masses as to the exact world on the horizon.

Love the idea, agree with most of the feedback here.

Suggestion: > Worth a PR to swap out SQLite for Jira/Linear? Or have a job that moves the work there?

I can then maybe save $50 on that window replacement by allowing local business to search/ bid on my home maintenance Jira queue (versus spam mail in the physical inbox)

A lot of great links here to the firehose (or at least for working parents). Unless someone has built it - anything that aggregates and shows beyond the first click of the by-line. (i.e. a first paragraph, or LLM-summary of the content)?

Otherwise... coming soon from a vibe-coding session near you...

Coming soon to a future ShowHN: https://www.open-embeddings.org/

The hope is to flip the incentives and feed the bots without drowning content publishers
